Business Fire Safety Strategy

How we aim to achieve safer businesses and communities through fire prevention strategies.

Our aim is to:

achieve safer business and community sectors where there are no preventable deaths or injuries in fires

reduce fire losses to minimal levels

make sure businesses receive consistent and common advice, information and enforcement practices.

To achieve this we need to achieve operational and community safety excellence in the most cost-effective way, putting people and property protection at the centre of everything we do. That includes:

the safety and diversity needs of people in the community

fire protection training and development of our own staff.

Businesses need to be confident that:

fire and rescue services can provide the right information and advice to support them with compliance

those enforcing the legislation are consistent when making decisions

any processes are similar, to avoid confusion.

We have adopted our approach from the Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA) Business Safety Strategy 2013/16. We support this strategy and are accountable to our own Business Fire Safety Policy Statement.
